@JohnCassidy Everyone’s scores were likely -4 better in reality. Calling a 550 yard hole a par 4 doesn’t make it a par 4.

The most hilarious gaslighting on the planet is happening now.

“The Military stockpiles are low!!!!”

It’s been 2 days.

If you believe that the U.S. military is even close to out of ammunition or missiles after 2 days, you should be clinically evaluated as retarded.

Yom Kippur War. Simchat Torah. Go cry somewhere else.

Iraq was attacked by the US during Ramadan and it sickening to know that the US is again going to attack Iran during Ramadan. The US apparently loves to strike Muslim countries during Ramadan and I am convinced it isn’t what these countries have done to violate international law but about who they worship.

6 life lessons from Marcus Aurelius:

1. Cut out the inessential
2. Stop making excuses
3. Embrace failure
4. Trade anger for sympathy

@BradDunkley @bankofcanada Fair points. Assuming an honest basket, the basket is the bogey, not gold. Not a luxury car. The basket.

[Slicer Kale @SlicerKale]

@BradDunkley @bankofcanada But why should someone care about how much gold they can buy? They should care about a basket of goods imperative to their lifestyle. That’s their inflation. They also can’t afford a Ferrari.

Is the Iranian government making sure that enough humanitarian aid is reaching the protesters?

This is Tehran. Let that sink in. You are watching a revolution unfold live while the world’s media stays dead silent. Legacy media has become nothing more than a propaganda machine, because what news could possibly be bigger than this?

It’s almost been 24 hours and not a single Corporate Media outlet has had anything to say about this.

Funny how that works.

For the first time in two years, the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem was lit by Christmas decorations. The scene was joyful, the coverage even more so.

International outlets rushed to celebrate the “return of Christmas to Bethlehem.” Palestinians recovering Christmas from the Israeli Grinch is a great story. It gives “peace among all mankind” energy, while scratching an anti-Semitic stereotype of anti-Christian Jews.

But underneath the holiday movie is a story of oppression and persecution that is entirely Palestinian.

For every one Christian celebrating in the place of Jesus’s birth, there are nine Muslims. A census from 2017 shows that the city, which was once upwards of 86 percent Christian in 1950, is now just 10 percent. Of that 67-year period, Israel only controlled the city for 28 years. They handed a majority-Christian city to the Palestinian Authority in 1995; then its Christian population dropped.

This isn’t a coincidence. Multiple reports by groups such as Open Doors, Aid to the Church in Need, and testimonies from Palestinian Christian clergy describe patterns that are disturbingly consistent: intimidation, coerced land sales, harassment of Christian women, forced Islamization in family-law disputes, vandalism of churches, and physical assaults that rarely see justice.

Last week, while Christmas trees were being lit in Bethlehem, in Jenin—another city controlled by the PA—they were set on fire by Muslim extremists. At the same time, just a few miles away from the celebrations in Bethlehem, in the town of Beit Jala, Christians hid their celebrations out of fear of religious violence from local Muslims.

It begs the question: Why the lack of attention?

Why, when a stray tank shell tragically struck a church in Gaza, did the world explode with rage? When the Christian population of Gaza dwindled from 5,000 to just 1,000 by October 2023—while the rest of the population almost doubled—we hardly heard a thing.

If they want to focus on Israel, I would be happy to.

Christian Arabs in Israel have the highest educational attainment of any religious group in the country. They are overrepresented in medicine, law, academia and technology. Christians serve as judges, diplomats, IDF officers and members of parliament. Churches operate freely. Holy sites are protected by law.

Last week, the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics released a report showing Israel’s Christian population had grown 0.7%.

Shockingly, that moderate growth is unparalleled in the region.

If there’s one thing that sums up this entire story, it is this fact: In the entire Middle East—500 million people, 17 countries—a region that was once 20 percent Christian, only one single country has seen its Christian population increase, and it isn’t Palestine.

@deedydas Ridiculous suggestion. Just left Bangkok. Worst traffic. Worst smog. A couple nice areas and the rest is unlivable.

@APetrielli Dude. That’s incredible. Enjoy these moments.

"If you see anything suspicious" 😃

Might want to start with the 20,000 dudes dressed up like jihadi training camp rejects from the Osama bin Laden School of Public Policy you been letting walk around screaming at people for the last 2 years.

Just a thought.
